24x18 watercolor on Aquabord, drawn today with a brush dipped in watercolor onto the clay surface. I had not really explored using this product although it is made here in Texas, and was given this large piece I'd started a failed portrait on. Using the ink sketch (below) from a recent drawing, I had no photo reference, only an imagination. Lifting most of the paint then blotting with a paper towel seemed to work fine as it could look quite heavy.


6x6 ink sketch, posted during April's monthly challenge, Pigma Micron pen.
C&C welcome

I knew this would be an amazing piece, Kay. I just love the sketch, and the painting is wonderful. Excellent work on this, especially since you did this all from imagination!

Kay this is really nice, particularly as you were trying a new surface. The sketch is wonderful and I am amazed you were able to create the painting only from that. Good work I say!
